Nice little town.
Nice little town. Had great views and lits of nice tracks for walking. Restaurants were good and gift shop had nice selection of items at prices better than what I have seen elsewhere. Glacier Country Heli Tour was superub!Guest review byJanaUnited States - Review score8.0
We dined at the Landing restaurant.
We dined at the Landing restaurant. Very good, busy and lively atmosphere, with friendly service, many tables were reserved. Big platefuls of great food, so bring your appetite. Easy parking in Franz, as would be expected. Especially after QT!! The walk to the glacier viewing platform from the car-park shouldn't be underestimated for anyone who is infirm or unfit. But it's worth it for the view when you get there. The west coast road is delightful to drive. But note that there was road clearing operations which literally closed the road north of Haast for a couple of hours! Take heed of any warning signs!Guest review byMichaelNew Zealand - Review score8.0

Lots of walking trails towards the glacier but sadly we were not able to do any walking as it was raining hard and steady during our stay. Enjoyed a delicious meal at “Alice May” restaurant only 5-10 minute walk from hotel.Guest review byJohnUnited States - Review score10.0

Great area for outdoor activities with plenty to do and experience. We did several local DOC walks (i.e., Tatare Falls and Callery Gorge) and undertook an amazing helicopter flight with Glacier Country Helicopters - Pilot’s Choice (35 minutes duration). The Landing was a great place to dine.Guest review byKarenNew Zealand - Review score10.0

We love that all the hotels, restaurants, cafes and activities are all within walking distance. All the staff that we have met for our helicopter ride and hike were excellent and so friendly! It is a very relaxing place yet fun to be having a holiday at Franz Josef. But I do wish you could review the restaurant pricing as they are very steep. With all the holidaymakers in the area, all need to eat and drink so no need to charge so high...i think you will invite more tourists to the area if prices of food are less expensive.Guest review byJu-LiSingapore - Review score10.0

We stayed there because I am a keen bird photographer and I wanted to visit the Whataroa bird sanctuary. We initially only booked 3 nights but there is so much to do around there we extended it to 5. while there we went to lake Matherson, Fox Glacier, a beautiful bush walk especially down the moraine track, Franz Joseph Glacier not visible due to mist and Okarito which has a beautiful coast and large lagoon but unfortunately the weather was not great so next time.Guest review byChrisNew Zealand

- Review score8.8Fabulous · 727 reviewsVery well designed and furnished was the room. All the comfort was there, even an leather sofa with a big coffee table and as surprise there was a fireplace (gas). And the patio was wonderful and straight against the rainforest. The cleanliness and comfort was excellent. The location was ideal, only few steps away from all the cafes and restaurants and the Franz Josef Glacier was only a short drive away.Guest review byKarinAustralia

- From £130.06 per nightReview score7.6Good · 1,053 reviewsThe hotel was well situated for all of the tourist activities in the area. There was a view of the glacier for the dining room. There was plenty of parking. The guy at check-in asked if I wanted a ground floor room as there was no lift.Guest review byZoeUnited Kingdom
